General information about Def Leppard Def Leppard is a British rock band from Sheffield, England, that formed in 1977 and became part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. In 2001 VH1 produced and aired Hysteria - The Def Leppard Story, a biopic starring Orlando Seale as Joe Elliott, Tat Whalley as Rick Allen, Anthony Michael Hall as Mutt Lange and Karl Geary as Steve Clark. The movie covered the band's history between 1977 through 1986, from formation to the tragedies of Rick Allen's accident and Steve Clark's battles with alcoholism to Rick's triumphant comeback. It was broadcast that summer to some of the channel's highest-ever ratings. The movie was subsequently released on DVD in January 2005. Def Leppard's tenth album, X, was released in August 2002 and went gold. It saw the band's musical direction moving more towards pop and further away from the band's hard rock roots. In fact, some tracks were written and produced by people who'd worked with Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys. The first single from the album, 'Now', featured a video depicting the 'adventures' of a classic Def Leppard Union Jack shirt between 1983 and 2002. Although it was greeted with generally positive reviews, X quickly disappeared from the charts and is the worst-selling album of the band's career. However, the accompanying world tour played to the band's strongest audiences since the Adrenalize period. A second compilation CD, Best Of, was released in October 2004 around the world (except for North America). It was also available in a limited edition double CD. The first disc was basically a slightly reconfigured Vault, while the second disc included fan favorites and post-1995 singles. A cover of The Kinks' 'Waterloo Sunset' was also featured as a bonus track. A virtually similar 2-CD compilation exclusively for the North American market, Rock Of Ages - The Definitive Collection, was released on May 17 2005. This set included 'No Matter What', a cover of the Badfinger Top 10 hit. The album returned Def Leppard to the Top 10 of the US Album Charts and debuted at #3 in Canada. Both 'Waterloo Sunset' and 'No Matter What' are to be included on a covers album called Yeah!, set for a May 2006 release. In July 2005, Def Leppard played at the Live 8 show in Philadelphia, performing 'Rock Of Ages', 'No Matter What', and 'Pour Some Sugar On Me'. The band toured minor league baseball stadiums with Bryan Adams in the summer. The year also saw the band leave their longtime management team, Q-Prime, to sign with HK Management (Aerosmith, Lenny Kravitz). Rock Of Ages - The Definitive Collection has recently been certified Platinum in the US, adding to their legacy as one of the most popular rock bands of all time.
